Abstract
The present invention implements the use of tension in interacting cables to maintain control of a table-top. By creating an apparatus designed to replicate an actual sports field, the table-top sports game allows for indoor playing of a popular sport. Also, since the game makes use of hand-eye coordination rather than placing an emphasis on foot-eye coordination, it allows various people, especially those with lower appendage disabilities, to enjoy the sport as well.
